[G] _ _ [Em] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ You and I are victims of a love that lost a lot in the [G] _ translation _
[C] _ When I think of all the time that I spent sitting on [G] the end of your bed [Em] in [G] anticipation
_ [Em] _ _
[D] _ Of you [Em] giving in and thus living [G] in _ [Em] sin _ _ A _ _ pot died, the smell of hairspray and the
sound of a shower [G] running _ [Em] softly [G] _ [C] [Am] It seems like this did remind me how I felt
The first [G] time you came back for coffee _
[D] _ The way you took [Em] it _ [G] amazed _ [Em] me
_ Walking _
[G] _ _ [Em] _ in the park, kissing [G] in the dark And my head against your [C] pillow
[Am] _ _ [C] Late [Am] at night a lover [G] _ _ [Em] _ [Am] [G] sings [Em] As _
[D] _ _ _ [Em] Mandiva [C] finding out all [G] about _ love _ _ _
[D] I say, as _ [C] Mandiva finding out all [G] about _ _ _ _ [Em] _ _
_ _ _ _ [G] _ _ [Em] _ _
[G] _ _ [E] _ [G] love _ [Em] There [G] _ _ is no real substitute for a ball [Em] struck
[G] squarely and [Em] firmly _
[C] _ You're the kind of girl who wants [Am] to open
up the bottle [G] of pop too [Em] early [G] in the journey _
[D] _ _ Our love [Em] went flat just [G] like [Em] that
[G] It [Em] _ _
[G] _ _ [E] doesn't [G] matter the [Em] colour of the [G] cover What goes [Em] on beneath [G] the [Em] bonnet _
[C] Is [Am] there a flag that flies above your heart And [G] is my name written there upon [Em] it
[D] Wedding cake and [Em] toothpaste equals love [G] and [Em] pain
[G] _ [Em] Walking _
[G] _ _ [Em] in the [G] park, [Em] [Am] kissing on the [G] carpet _ [Em] And your type surrounds your [C] ankles
[Am] _ _ _ Late at night a lover [G] thinks of these _ things _ _
[D] As [Em] Mandiva finding [C] out all [G] about
[Em] _ [G] _ _ _ [Em] _ I [D] say, as _ [Em] Mandiva [C] finding out [G] all about [Em] _ [G] love _ _ _ [D] _
As Mandiva [Em] [C] finding out all [D] about
As Mandiva [Em] finding [C] out all [D] about [G] Teresa and Steve
[Em] Finding [C] out [G] all about love
